LOS ANGELES—Artistic director and conductor of The Los Angeles Master Chorale, Grant Gershon, introduced the world premiere of “Sunrise: A Song of Two Humans,” an original film score for a classic silent film, at The Walt Disney Concert Hall on Jan. 26.
Gershon, who conducted the orchestra, acknowledged that it was a sad day for Los Angeles. Indeed a strange haze seemed to permeate the city, following Kobe Bryant’s shocking death. Yet, by the end of the performance, the restorative and life-affirming power of beautiful music brought the house to their feet in a standing ovation.
